Dear KMAG: 20190721 Open Topic

This meme is one of the biggest red pills I’ve had about the Left in general. It comes from a Brazilian Twitter account (long since banned, IIRC) trying to expose Leftist indoctrination in universities. The “Before” pictures are high school, and the “After” is from college.
Just look at it from a cold medical perspective. If you were a doctor sent to examine an animal population and observed symptoms and self-destructive behavior among the herd, wouldn’t it look like a mass sickness? I kind of feel bad putting it in such dehumanizing terms, but I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s like all of the hate and destruction coming out of the Left drives people to outwardly and inwardly destroy themselves.

Here is a must read legal complaint from Ed Butowsky, naming law firms and media outlets as defendants. It was filed on July 15:

This is easy to read and worth our time. Emphases mine below.
See page 12, items 42 and 43:
’42. The DNC employee responsible for the leaks was Seth Rich, and he was assisted by his brother Aaron. Mr. Butowsky does not know exactly when the DNC figured out that Mr. Rich was the source of the leak. On July 10, 2016, however, Mr. Rich was fatally shot while walking home in Washington, D.C., and the murder has not been solved. Mr. Butowsky does not know whether the murder is related to Mr. Rich’s role in leaking DNC emails.
’43. Shortly after the murder, the interim DNC chair at the time, Donna Brazile, reached out to Mr. McCabe and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for help in dealing with the political consequences of the murder. Ms. Brazile knew suspicions would soon arise, fairly or unfairly, that the murder was connected to the email leaks. D.C. police allowed the FBI to unlock Seth Rich’s electronic devices, and the FBI obtained data showing that Mr. Rich had indeed provided the DNC emails to Wikileaks. At Mr. McCabe’s direction, however, that information was kept secret with orders that it not be produced in response to any Freedom of Information Act request. For her part, Ms. Bowser directed D.C. police not to pursue any investigative avenues that might connect the murder to the email leaks. At her direction, local police blamed the murder on a “botched robbery” even though Mr. Rich’s watch, wallet, and other belongings were not removed from his body.’
Also, items 45 and 46 on page 13:
’45. Mr. Butowsky stumbled into the RCH crosshairs after Ellen Rattner, a news analyst for Fox News and the White House correspondent for Talk Media News, contacted him in the Fall of 2016 about a meeting she had with Mr. Assange. Ms. Rattner’s brother, the late Michael Rattner, was an attorney who had represented Mr. Assange. According to Ms. Rattner, she made a stop in London during a return flight from Berlin, and she met with Mr. Assange for approximately six hours in the Ecuadorean embassy. Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange told her that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron, were responsible for releasing the DNC emails to Wikileaks. Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange wanted the information relayed to Seth’s parents, as it might explain the motive for Seth’s murder.
’46. Upon her return to the United States, Ms. Rattner asked Mr. Butowsky to contact the Rich family and relay the information from Mr. Assange, apparently because Ms. Rattner did not want her involvement to be made public. In the two months that followed, Mr. Butowsky did not attempt to contact the Rich family, but he grew increasingly frustrated as the DNC and #Resistance “journalists” blamed the Russian government for the email leak …’
Item 46 goes on to say that Butowsky texted Rattner asking why she did not speak up herself. She replied saying that she had contacted Bill Shine, who was then co-President of Fox News. He later served as WH Communications Director from July 2018 to March 2019. Ms Rattner urged Butowsky to contact Mr and Mrs Rich.
See item 47 on page 14:
’47. On December 17, 2016, at the instigation of Ms. Rattner, Mr. Butowsky finally contacted Joel and Mary Rich, the parents of Seth, and he relayed the information about Ms. Rattner’s meeting with Mr. Assange. During that conversation, Mr. Rich told Mr. Butowsky that he already knew that his sons were involved in the DNC email leak, but he and his wife just wanted to know who murdered Seth. Mr. Rich said he was reluctant to go public with Seth’s and Aaron’s role in leaking the emails because “we don’t want anyone to think our sons were responsible for getting Trump elected.” Mr. Rich said he did not have enough money to hire a private investigator, so Mr. Butowsky offered to pay for one. Mr. Rich accepted the offer and thanked Mr. Butowsky in an email.’
